Hi guys this is my first dSLR so im still learning the basics, Pictures taken with Nikon D3000. Comments and criticism welcomed.

Thanks for looking:thumbup:

I like the composition of #3 the best, but I also think the light gray pavement is really fighting for attention (distracting). Some curves adjustment could probably help this. On your other shots, the blacks are getting crushed under the car and in the shadows on the sides...at least on my monitor they are.

Nice whip!

Sweet ride.

Look at getting a cheap cpol to experiment with. It'll help kill some of the reflections on the car and give you a nicer look to the paint. I shoot with one pretty much all the time when I'm photo graphing autos.

I think they are great except for them being a little too dark for my eyes

Awesome car, but I agree with VI ... get a circular polarizer, it will definitely help with the reflections

Thank you, I will play with the brightness and contrast settings Im also looking to get tripod in the coming weeks:thumbup:

Thanks, and yes Ive been hearing great news about lens polarizers. Need to look into this :thumbup:.



Thank you all.

You need to crop some of them tighter and do more adjustment.

Nice roof rack

My suggestions are, Bring out the blacks a little, crop out the skys, and vignette to draw attention to the middle.

Shoot it again in a better location with your MT bike, could look good, or how about when it is snowboard season set up the camera remotely and fire the shutter as you jump the car, that would look good

LOL, good idea.

Im not sure what you mean? theres barely any sky visible in that first shot.

Nice car...

All of these look to be taken from your standing height. Don't hesitate to get low for car shots... sort of on their eye level (well, headlight level).

Also, a little more light on the car would have been nice - something to consider if you get into off-camera flash - as long as it's diffused.

Circular polarizers do cut down on the reflections, good suggestion from Village.
